absolutely. Theft is a crime of moral turpitude and aliens committing these kinds of crimes are deportable and inadmissible. There is one exception under the law which has been discussed here many many times, have a look in this section and talk with your attorney about it.

Probably you cannot do anything. You cannot represent your friend unless you are an attorney or are accredited with an established organization. Therefore the USCIS cannot give you any information about your friend's status. If he is facing deportation he should proabably consult an immigration...

exactly, the privilege to be obligated to pay taxes surely never is seen as a benefit :) :) :). But seriously, this provision is geared against people, who fraudulently tried to gain a real benefit by claiming they were US citizens, for example in certain tax situations it might be of...

it usually depends on the circumstances, but if as you said it arose from one and the same incident, then the attorney probably is right.

that does not sound good. He definitely can get into trouble because of this, meaning, a visa and entry to the US could be denied. But it depends on the circumstances and details, so yes, I advise you to consult an immigration lawyer. Usually you would look for an attorney in the US, but...

Since you are a foreigner I would definitely advise you to consult an attorney. Even US citizens in my opinion do not know enough about the working of the American criminal justice system, but foreigners definitely should not go at it alone. An attorney then will answer all your other questions.

I am sorry, I don't know CT law. You should consult an attorney in CT with these specific questions.

it depends on your state law. Generally a landlord has three possibilities, but they can be limited by specific state law: 1-keep the apartment vacant until the end of the lease and sue the tenants for the rent 2-rent the apartment on behalf of the tenant and sue the tenant for the...

It depends on the law in your state and the circumstances. It is a typical trick by landlords to call the security deposit something else and then pretend it was used for repairs. In many states there are strict limits as to what the landlord can charge to a security deposit. In many states also...

If I understand correctly all she did was to pick up some tax forms which were available after being in a separate entry line for US citizens. Well, since she was sent there and since even aliens might need tax forms I do not see how this could be made into a false representation charge.

It is normal that the credit records of the three bureaus have discrepancies. It depends on to which bureau the collection agencies forward their information. In this case here it seems the agency only forwarded information about one bill to only one bureau yet.

Under Texas law, if it is established that a common law marriage exists, it can only be terminated by a legal divorce (or death and anulment). Here is the law: http://www.aaml.org/common.htm

I assume they live in Germany. First of all, he should consult an attorney right now. Under German law parties in a divorce must be represented by an attorney anyway, so he can already go and get representation. The attorney then will explain everything. Basically you already found the main...

The best thing probably would be to consult a probate attorney and have him or her take action

It is very important to answer USCIS questions truthfully. If you qualify for the "one time crime" exception you can provide the documentation to the consulate when you submit your visa application.

I would have to know all the details of the contract, especially the exact wordings of all conversation to make an evaluation (which cannot be done in this forum anyway), but from what you say it sounds as if this might have been a breach of an express warranty by the seller. It might also be...

No. Having custody of a child is not a way to circumvent other laws. Imagine a father or a mother being convicted of murder getting out of prison just because she or he has custody of a child. Impossible. Under immigration law a US citizen can only sponsor his or her parents for permanent...

have a look at the many postings in this section regarding theft convictions, it is all explained there

You should consult an attorney

Hm, this could be a little complicated. I do not have the time and details here now to look up British law and make the necessary comparison, but this sounds as if it could be interpreted as a conviction for aggravated assault instead of simple assault. Aggravated assault can be, but need not...
